Smeggy Smurf:blatz514: Unsecured Premise - Caller reported that roofing on a neighboring house was flapping in the brisk Aleutian breeze. An officer contacted the homeowner and advised her of the problem.

I'm sure it was the roof...

Cheap metal roofing and a sustained 15-25 mph wind on a calm day will do that. Imagine the 4-5 winter storms that are like a Cat 1 coming ashore each year. Fun, games and -70F or colder good times

I was going for more of "a penis flapping in the breeze," but your answer will suffice.

Two taxi drivers reported that they were each being harassed by the other, via rude phone calls. An officer suggested they might want to consider not phoning one another, thus possibly alleviating the problem.

How many taxi drivers can Unalaska possibly have? It would warm my cockles if these were the only two.

As a previous visitor to Dutch Harbor, this is pretty interesting. A brisk Aleutian breeze can easily reach 80 mph and has been recorded over 100 mph on numerous occasions. Also on the island is one of the most dangerous bars in America, as per an article that I believe was written by Playboy. And yes the bar really is very rough, I do not remember its name. Dutch Harbor is a very small island full of transient workers who only visit to take part in the seasonal fishing. When not on the boats there really is nothing to do on the island. I am not making this up, nothing to do. All of the fishermen and fisherwomen drink and drink heavily, because that is the only way to forget that you are on an island in the middle of nowhere and that your boat is probably a better place to be than the island. That was the only place that I have ever been when I wanted to stay on my vessel more than I wanted to visit the town. I remember going to the supply store and watching a boat crew chief buy a pallet of cigarettes to go with his pallet of food. Read that again, he bought a pallet of ciagarettes. I saw him wheel it out of the store. That is some hard core stuff. I know the boats can go out for over a month at a time, but with only a few people on board that many cigs could only be spread around so far. Dutch was a great place to visit and see all of the cool WWII stuff around. The Bald Eagles were everywhere and I am glad that I got to visit, but I would never want to live there. It is way to isolated for me and I am a country boy who loves not seeing his neighbors.

About 100. And they're crazy farks.

Yes, there are many taxis on the island. Most people are migrant workers who follow the fishing seasons.

Probably the douchier Hillstrand brother (Jonathan) or Jake Harris...

My first thought was Jake. Jonathan is obnoxious, but Jake is just a farking moron who needs to get his shiat straight. I feel bad for his brother.

Yes, even if these are not the only two. This is the best entry on the blotter. This is the making of another reality show. This my friends. Be afraid. Real Taxis of Unalaska.

It's an epidemic. I stopped by our shop the other night and spotted a case of beer that someone has stashed under our truck. We've had a problem with kids hanging out by the shop, tagging it, breaking windows, leaving their empties, etc. I just called the cops to deal with it. Why didn't I just take it home?? Two words: Keystone Light.

The record low for Unalaska is -8F. -70 is more of an interior thing.

And up here in the interior, we still have people who think a blue plastic tarp is valid roofing materiel. You have to love a state where once you get about a mile from the center of town, building codes are more suggestions than rules.

buckler:And not a single citation or arrest listed. Not that I'm complaining about easygoing cops, but do these guys recruit in Mayberry?

Alaska kind of is like Mayberry, especially once you're past tourist/fishing season. Unless you're in Anchorage, or in downtown Fairbanks, odds on, when a cop responds to something, the officer and the person getting busted are on a first name basis. The whole state is a series of small towns and villages, with the exception of a couple of population centers.

'the elbow room'.

fun place if you're into being hit on by aleutian women with two teeth and better facial hair than you.

the eagles are like rats up there, like they are in most of alaska. more of a nuisance than anything else.

I have family that lives in Cooper Landing. I think they do the policing themselves.

Grew up in small town in northern Maine, pretty much this. The cops are likely to say Carl you dumbshiat go home and sober up.

When I was in the military I spent a week at Eielson AFB, about 30 miles outside Fairbanks. The newspaper from the closest town North Pole, published the police blotter every week. The week I was there there were about 30 entries, 27 of which were drunk driving arrests. The other three were domestic violence, a car break in, and a vehicle hits Moose.

Throw in the occasional meth bust, and it's pretty much the same thing these days.

I should have said windchill. There's nothing like 80mph winds in the winter coming off the ocean.

I spent 5 years as a kid on Kodiak through 2 tours at the air station. Good times.

Yeah, one small town in which I lived would get a weekly State Trooper drive-through. He normally wouldn't stop, but just drive the small cirlce that is our town and head back to wherever. Essentially there was zero police presence unless something major went down (which, admittedly was not hugely uncommon). Still seeing a cop was notably rare, and, for the most part, things went along about as smoothly as any other random small town.

To somewhat better tie this into the conversation, the coldest I've actually experienced while being aware of the temperature was -58F. Far from any all time records but definitely cold enough. This being SE interior Alaska.
